How do you increase the sensitivity of a force sensor using strain gauge?

You can increase the sensitivity of a force sensor using a strain gauge by either increasing the gauge factor (by using materials with higher sensitivity to strain) or by increasing the strain applied to the gauge (by increasing the length or width of the gauge). Both methods will increase the change in resistance of the strain gauge in response to applied force, resulting in higher sensitivity.

What would one use a strain gauge for?

Like the name suggests, a strain gauge is a device used to measure the strain of an object. The devices electrical resistance varies in proportion to the amount of strain on the device.


What is the purpose of a strain gauge?

A strain gauge is used to measure the strain of an object. It was invented by the inventors Edward Simmons and Arthur Ruge in 1938. There are several types of gauges (metallic, capacitance, photo-electrics and semiconductor gauges).
